Married by Fate, Broken by Love Chapter 164
Aliya's POVI stared at the message for nearly a full minute before I realized I had stopped breathing properly.The words remained on the screen exactly as they had appeared. No explanation. No follow-up. No indication of who sent them. Just a single sentence that somehow felt more unsettling than many of the threats we had received recently. My pulse hammered against my ribs while questions raced through my mind faster than I could process them. Who was Sophie Calloway? Why would someone want me to ask Dylan about her? And most importantly, why did I suddenly have the horrible feeling that I had stumbled onto something deeply personal?Leo's voice pulled me back to reality."Aliya?"I blinked and looked up immediately. He was watching me from across the table with concern written all over his small face. Children noticed far more than adults often gave them credit for. After everything that had happened lately, he had become especially sensitive to changes in people's moods."Are yo

Dylan's POVThe room went silent after I told everyone Victor was dead.Not shocked silence. Heavy silence. The kind that comes when people realize a situation is worse than they originally believed. Detective Morris stood across from me in the office while several members of the task force exchanged uneasy glances. Nobody needed to ask the obvious question. If Victor had been willing to cooperate before, somebody had just ensured he would never talk again. Which meant whoever was behind this operation was no longer cleaning up loose ends carefully. They were panicking."How was he found?" Morris finally asked.I looked down at the message on my phone again before answering. The report had come directly from the detectives assigned to Victor's surveillance detail. They had been tracking him for hours after obtaining the financial records linking him to Richard. Unfortunately, someone else reached him first."In his apartment," I said quietly.Nobody spoke.I continued anyway."Single

Aliya's POVI knew something was wrong the moment Dylan walked through the front door the following morning.Not because he looked angry. Anger had become familiar lately. This was different. There was a stillness about him now that unsettled me immediately. The kind of stillness that appeared when someone learned information they couldn't stop thinking about. He moved through the foyer quietly while security personnel spoke with Detective Morris near the entrance, but his attention seemed elsewhere entirely. Like part of him was still standing inside Victor's apartment replaying that final video over and over again.The estate had been awake for hours already despite the early morning. Officers continued coming and going while investigators occupied multiple rooms downstairs. The entire house felt caught between preparation and anticipation. Everyone was waiting for the next breakthrough. The next lead. The next disaster. Living inside that constant uncertainty was exhausting in ways

Aliya's POV The house felt quieter than it should have after Dylan received the photograph.Not peaceful quiet. The kind of silence that settles before something terrible happens. Everyone knew a move was coming now. The police knew it. Security knew it. Dylan knew it. And judging from the message beneath the photograph, Lydia knew it too. She wanted us to come after her, and somehow that frightened me more than if she had stayed hidden.I found Dylan standing alone on the terrace outside his office nearly an hour later. The rain had finally stopped, leaving the gardens glistening beneath the estate lights while clouds drifted slowly across the night sky. From a distance, the scene looked calm. Beautiful, even. But the man standing at the railing looked anything but calm. His shoulders were tense, his posture rigid, and his attention fixed somewhere far beyond the property. It was the look of someone carrying too much weight for too long.For several seconds, I simply stood there wat

Dylan's POVSleep never came.The house eventually grew quiet after midnight, but my mind refused to follow. Every time I closed my eyes, another piece of the puzzle surfaced. Victor's financial records. Lydia standing outside Leo's bedroom door. Richard's expanding network of corruption. Elana tied to a chair in that photograph. None of it existed separately anymore. Everything connected now, forming a picture that was far bigger than a kidnapping or a corporate conspiracy. Somebody had spent years building this operation carefully, and we had only started uncovering the surface.I remained in my office long after everyone else left. The tactical team continued preparing for the raid while investigators sent updates every thirty minutes. Maps, reports, and surveillance photos covered the conference table in front of me. I had reviewed most of them repeatedly already, but I kept returning to the photograph of Elana. Something about it bothered me. Not the obvious parts. Not the bruise
Married by Fate, Broken by Love Chapter 159
Aliya's POVThe moment Dylan said he knew where Elana was, everything changed.Until then, we had been reacting to clues, following trails, and hoping each lead would bring us closer to answers. Suddenly, for the first time since Elana disappeared, there was a direction. A real one. Yet instead of relief, a different feeling settled inside me. Fear. Because if Dylan was right, then we were no longer searching for possibilities we were heading directly toward the people responsible for all of this.The drive back from the harbor felt longer than any journey I had taken in my life. Detective Morris and his team immediately began organizing a tactical operation, but it was already clear they would need time before moving on the location Dylan identified. Nobody wanted to risk a rushed rescue that could get Elana killed. Every decision carried consequences now. Every delay felt unbearable. Sitting in the back seat while listening to conversations about entry points, surveillance equipment
